Slazi Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I reckon it's about time for another Mi-8 event! Anyone fancy trying to get one together? I could try and get setup for the event that was canceled last time, or, if anyone has a mission they feel is ready, perhaps they could host / supply it? I can host a dedicated server and TS if required. Any interest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZQuickSilverZ Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I am down. I think waiting for multiplayer cockpits would give it that extra punch to make it more memorable though. I need, I need, I need... What about my wants? QuickSilver original. "Off with his job" Mr Burns on the Simpsons. "I've seen steering wheels / arcade sticks / flight sticks for over a hundred dollars; why be surprised at a 150 dollar item that includes the complexities of this controller?! It has BLINKY LIGHTS!!" author unknown. These titles are listed in the chronological order I purchased them. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cibit Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Sure thing. Can we incorporate a troop drop at a clearing en route and use the MI-8 nav systems please:) i5 8600k@5.2Ghz, Asus Prime A Z370, 32Gb DDR4 3000, GTX1080 SC, Oculus Rift CV1, Modded TM Warthog Modded X52 Collective, Jetseat, W10 Pro 64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Adding JTAC Guide //My Vid's//229th AHB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slazi Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Multiplayer cockpits would be great, however, I still think we have a bit of a wait before they hit. Troop drop and nav would be great, too. It might take a bit of time for me to finish a mission for the event, as I really don't get much time to make stuff recently. If anyone else fancies having a go.. The other option is to wait until I can get something done. Basically, I just wanna fly with some other Mi-8 pilots :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-MadCat- Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'd volunteer again to provide Ka-50 escorting :) Becaue I still have not the slightest clue about the Mi-8. Don't even know the correct start up, yes, it's that bad. Not further commenting on the Mi-8 manual that was not released even partially last week.:music_whistling: So here I am, offering Ka-50 escort, maybe even with a second pilot (and therefore second Ka-50).

number3 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I would be game for something like this. I have a VIP pickup mission that I created a few DCS version back, but haven't tested it with the current release. 314-я смешанная авиационная дивизия 314th Mixed Aviation Division: The "Fighting Lemmings"- Forums: http://314thsquadron.enjin.com/ - ED Forum Group: http://forums.eagle.ru/group.php?groupid=119 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slazi Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Hey Mad. You'd be welcome to tag along if it works with the mission. Our backup navigation system :) Number3 - if the mission is suitable for a few Mi-8s then I'm definitely interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number3 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 It's suitable for the Mi-8. It's support and rescue mission. 314-я смешанная авиационная дивизия 314th Mixed Aviation Division: The "Fighting Lemmings"- Forums: http://314thsquadron.enjin.com/ - ED Forum Group: http://forums.eagle.ru/group.php?groupid=119 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flo57100 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Hi all, I think including an ABRIS navigation system (like in the KA-50) would be great, and I know it exists as I saw a photo of MI-8 cockpit with ABRIS display,like on this picture: http://www.airforce-technology.com/contractors/training/ret_kronshtadt/ret_kronshtadt3.html Edited October 15, 2014 by flo57100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slazi Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 I'll try to give plenty of notice before the event. Weekends are probably best for most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number3 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 We could try this out on a smaller scale and add improvements for a larger event. 314-я смешанная авиационная дивизия 314th Mixed Aviation Division: The "Fighting Lemmings"- Forums: http://314thsquadron.enjin.com/ - ED Forum Group: http://forums.eagle.ru/group.php?groupid=119 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slazi Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Sounds like the way to go. I've been out of action the last couple of weeks with a cold, but looking forward to flying soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
